Simple, Hidden Design

Blue Ox Base Plate With Arms AttachedBlue Ox Base Plate Arms Removed

This base plate's hidden design creates a clean and seamless look. The bracket arms are easily removable, creating a slick appearance when you're not flat towing. Because the arms can be removed, you also won't have to worry about banging your leg into any protruding arms when you walk by.


Blue Ox Base Plate Removable Arms

Attaching and removing the bracket arms is a breeze. To attach the arms to the base plate, simply insert them into the receivers and rotate them until they lock into place. Once you're finished towing and want to remove the arms, pull the pin to disengage the lock, rotate the arms, and remove them from the receivers. Finally, plug up the now empty receivers with the included receiver covers to help keep dirt and debris out of the base plate and provide a finished look.


Guide to Flat Towing

Flat towing your vehicle is much more convenient than using a trailer or a tow dolly. These other options take up much more storage space, leaving you less room both at home and at the campsite. In addition, securing your vehicle to a trailer or tow dolly can be a hassle and more time consuming than hooking up with a tow bar.


There are 5 basic components needed when flat towing a vehicle: a tow bar, a base plate kit, a safety cable set, tow bar wiring, and a supplemental braking system.


Towing Basics

The tow bar links your towed car to your motorhome. It attaches to the custom-fit base plates that install on the frame of your towed car. Safety cables ensure that your towed car does not separate from your motorhome in the event that your tow bar becomes detached. Tow bar wiring allows your towed vehicle's signal lights to sync up with your motorhome's tail lights, which is required by law in most states. Finally, the supplemental braking system - also required in most states - brakes your towed car when the brakes in your motorhome are activated, preventing wear on the motorhome and decreasing braking distance for your entire setup.

  • Can Blue Ox Base Plate Kit BX3615 be Used to Flat Tow 2013 Subaru WRX
    Hey Eric, yes the Blue Ox base plate kit part # BX3615 is a confirmed fit for your 2013 Subaru Impreza WRX and would work great with the Blue Ox Acclaim part # BX4330 that you referenced. In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow your vehicle. One of the most popular compatible tow bars is the Blue Ox Avail # BX7420 which comes with safety cables. The coiled design helps keep the cables off of...

  • Recommended Complete Flat Tow System For 2013 Subaru XV Crosstrek With Automatic Transmission
    Your 2013 Subaru Crosstrek XV automatic transmission can be flat towed if you don't have a CVT model which cannot and I'd be happy to help with a complete system for you. For your base plates, I recommend the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # BX3615. For this install you will want to use Loctite Threadlocker # LT37420. This can be used seamlessly with the Blue Ox Aladdin Tow Bar that you referenced (which is discontinued) or the Blue Ox Alpha Tow Bar # BX7380. That will come...

  • Recommended Components For Flat-Towing 2013 Subaru XV Crosstrek AWD
    On page 9-15 of the owner's manual I found information about towing your Crosstrek. The manual does say that the best method is to carry the vehicle on a flatbed. It does not specifically say flat-towing is not permitted, so I recommend checking with your dealership to make sure you follow any restrictions for your Crosstrek. The base plates I recommend are part # BX3615. This has removable arms so less of the base plate is visible when you are not towing. For a tow bar I recommend...
